KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Current made history during the team's final home match of the season, welcoming a record-setting crowd while expanding the matchday experience beyond CPKC Stadium.

About 6,000 fans gathered in the outdoor area to watch the match on large screens while enjoying food, entertainment and family-friendly activities.
"It's a fun day to come out and celebrate Kansas City and celebrate sports in Kansas City and be a part of history because this will be our largest attended match in Kansas City Current history," said Jocelyn Monroe, chief marketing director of KC Current.
For $10, the Ground Pass gave fans access to an outdoor watch party featuring five screens, games, a children's area and halftime entertainment.

"We got a concert at halftime; we got five screens to watch the match, we have a kid-friendly zone," Monroe said.
The experience also expanded access for supporters who were unable to get tickets inside CPKC stadium, which has a capacity of about 12,000.
"What really makes the atmosphere is the people, so having more of our fans have the opportunity to come down and build out an accessible area for them is something we always were thinking about," Monroe said.
New restaurants open at Current Landing
The expanded Current Landing experience featured two new dining options: Revel Bar & Grill and Providence Pizza, adding to the Riverfront entertainment district surrounding the stadium.
